Whip up some delightful homemade treats for your dog with just three easy-to-find, pet-safe ingredients. These simple-to-make cookies can be shaped into adorable doggy designs like bones for fun or quickly formed into small, flattened balls if time is tight. Ensure your peanut butter is free from added sugars, oils, and particularly Xylitol, which is harmful to dogs.
Banana Bliss Biscuits for Barkers
Easy 3-Ingredient Dog Treats Yields: 20-24 biscuits. Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (check for no Xylitol!)
- 1 large ripe banana (or 2 mediums), mashed
How to Make Them:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pulse the rolled oats in a blender until they resemble fine flour, or use pre-made oat flour. Set this aside.
- In a big bowl, combine the peanut butter and mashed banana thoroughly. Mix in the oat flour until you achieve a thick, cohesive dough. If it's too dry, mix in 2-4 tablespoons of peanut butter until the dough is sticky yet workable.
- Flatten the dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness and cut out shapes with a doggie-themed cookie cutter. For a quicker option, shape the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and press them down to form simple round cookies.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until the bottoms are slightly golden. Let them cool for 10-15 minutes – if you can wait – before treating your dog.
- Store these tasty treats in a sealed container; they'll keep fresh for up to two weeks.
Treat your four-legged friend to these healthy, homemade snacks and watch their tail wag joyfully!
